haha pulling guard sounds like the right option in my head but if he did it, no matter how good he is off his back, he's in punching position with Overeem on top of him. yikes. imagine taking just a couple of bodyshots in your guard. nightmare, think i'd probably start crying to be honest.

losing to dos santos, dan cormier and barnett is no disgrace but his glory days seem to have past him by.

I think Franks problem in recent years is that the HWs are now far more athletic than they used to be, and bigger. If anything he's a far better fighter than when he was UFC champion, his boxing has improved 10 fold. I werent many HWs a few years back that could have done what Barnett, carwin and lesner did. I think he's a great fighter but without top notch wrestling I think he's to small against new breed of HW. I'm not even interested in this fight, it'll only end one way imo. As someone said earlier in the thread, this is a gimme fight for Overeem

Mir isn't mentally strong enough and doesn't have the chin to hold up to Overeems initial charge.

Previous fights by Overeem are not really relevant here, if anything the fact he was dominating both early on proves my point even more so... If anyone thinks Mir can take the beating/pressure Big Foot and Browne did they are most certainly either delusional or badly mistaken!

As for Mir getting Overeem down, last time I checked Mir had some of the worse wrestling in the HW division and Lesnar couldn't get Overeem down?

This may wrongly be a close fight on the betting lines, if it is I'll be going massive on Overeem.
